Meanwhile, law enforcement from Utah and Arizona are working more with Texas authorities to see if any information gleaned from the raid on the YFZ Ranch could lead to potential prosecutions here.

Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said he has been consulting with the Texas attorney general and recently dispatched one of his assistant attorneys general to Eldorado.

Mohave County attorney's investigator Gary Engels, who helped build the criminal cases against Warren Jeffs, is also in Texas now.

"I hope we get some good information out of this situation," Goddard said.

Washington County Sheriff Kirk Smith told the Deseret News on Sunday that he continues to maintain contact with Schleicher County Sheriff David Doran, to update each other on what is going on at the YFZ Ranch and in Hildale. So far, Smith said he has not been asked to investigate any possible crimes that may spill over into Utah.

"If we get allegations or complaints, we're going to investigate them," he said. "It seems like everything's taking place in Texas. It's been very quiet in Hildale."
